Other funds

EU FP7 projects: OpenAire project has a post-grant pilot that runs until February 28, 2018. The program enables you to fund APCs (‘hybrid’ journals are excluded) for publications that originate from a FP7 program up to two years after it has been finalised. 3 publications per project can be funded, with a maximum of €2,000 per APC. The grant collects funding requests at publication acceptance time.

EU Horizon 2020: APCs (including ‘hybrid journals’) could be covered within the grant agreement. For APCs incurred after the end of their grant agreement, a mechanism for paying some of these costs will be piloted.
